The outstanding appearance of the peacock has made them one of the most popular themes used to decorate purses and handbags. Over the past two centuries, various styles of peacocks have been designed with colorful beadwork, exotic threads and iridescent sequences. Most collector's are eager to add one of these peacock purses to their treasury of handbags. I know some collectors that own several examples, others a dozen. Just as the green peacock is so admired for it's exceptional beauty, it is desired to discover one displayed on a purse, although far more difficult to find.
Regarding antique beaded purses, peacocks can be found perched on branches, fences and regally posed in palatial gardens. They are displayed along side extravagant urns and bowls overflowing with flowers and greenery. Occasionally, a rare pair of peacocks will be engaging in a romantic stance. In this specific purse category, peacocks with intricate figural designs bring the very highest prices. Purses, beaded or otherwise, with just the peacock's feathers are truly exciting to find, not common at all. Typically, the antique beaded peacock purse is considered a true work of art and no collection is complete without one.
